tony stark you know who i am. est. 2013, revamped 2017 brought to life by Manon mun/muse: 21+ please read about & rules tracking #ironformed prev. ironfallen. 4yrs exp. as tony |
❛ isn’t it gonna be weird, us going out somewhere together? people will talk. ❜ besides a handful of people whom her father worked with, no one knew she was a stark. though it was getting increasingly more difficult to hide that fact. sitting up, the blonde fluffed her hair, hoping it appeared more presentable for wherever they were going. ❛ i get the feeling i’ll be under dressed. ❜ ana gestures to the simple shirt, pants, and shoes ensemble currently adorning her body.
❛ only if you make it weird. we can either just say fuck it and let everyone know you’re my kid, or we can lie and say you’re an intern for stark industries and i’m just showing you the ropes.
❜ he gives a shrug, hardly caring how they go about it all. truth be told, he’s gotten tired of the lies. ana and him are in a better place together now, so why shouldn’t others know as well?
❛ no, you’re fine.
❜ he waves a hand at her, dismissing the notion. tony himself is clad in slacks and a semi-formal suit jacket and button up shirt; it really doesn’t matter. ❛ you ready?
❜
❛ are you gonna tell me where we’re going or is this some kinda surprise? ❜ she wasn’t overly fond of the latter but now was not the time to be a debbie downer.
❛ a surprise, now let’s go. i may or may not have made reservations for where we’re going.
❜ to say they don’t have a lot of father / daughter dates would be an understatement, hence why tony is attempting to remedy that now. standing just a few feet from her bed, hands in his pockets, he teeters on the heels of his feet.
❛ feel free to wear whatever. dress code doesn’t apply to us.
❜ he adds with a chuckle, hoping to lighten the mood and encourage her a bit.
a smirk forms along the curve of her mouth when delivering yet another kiss, lips lingering with no intentions of parting, her teeth capturing his lower lip, tugging the flesh gently before releasing. ❛ –well, i’ll have to check my schedule, and get back to you… ❜ her head dips down, gliding the tip of her nose along his skin, leaving behind a trail of wet kisses where she’s sucked at and licked, all the way down to the slope of his neck.
there’s no going back now, and as pepper further’s the kisses he has no choice but to move his hands from her face to slide down her sides and settle at her hips. he’ll even try to tug her closer as she kisses along his jawline and then his throat, tony intending to settle her at his hips as he lifts his chin up for her.
❛ mm… i think you’re clear. if not, just blame me.
❜
red painted nails gently dig into his thigh, both brows gravitating upward as to display mock innocence. ❛ oh i don’t know, i may have forgotten. it’s been a while since i peeked beneath these pants. ❜ amusement adorns her features when leaning over to press her lips against his own and speak upon hushed tones into the kiss. ❛ i think that is a very mature decision. ❜
she’s moving into dangerous territory now, but tony doesn’t want to deny her at all. groaning quietly and watching her with hooded eyes, the engineer is more than ready to accept the kiss she presses to his lips, both of his hands gently cupping her cheeks in hopes of inviting her closer.
❛ i can be mature when i wanna be, potts… i can also remind you of what you’ve been missing. ❜ they’re newly joined together again, having only recently ended the mutual break they’d decided on months ago.
her palm gently taps against his thigh, a playful gesture in correlation to his comment, ❛ more than years under there? you sure? ❜ fingertips splay upon his leg, resting there contently, perhaps venturing to draw soothing circles along the fabric of his trousers while he speaks. ❛ –you mean, baby him until he’s proved himself to be a responsible adult? ❜
slowly tony uncovers his face at pepper’s touch, a brow quirking in response.
❛ don’t play dumb, honey. we both know you’re well aware of what else is under my belt.
❜ despite both of their playful and suggestive comments, however, he takes comfort in the strawberry blonde’s hand at his thigh, managing to focus.
❛ i mean… basically? he’s not ready for the full responsibilities of being an avenger. he’s GOOD, but he’s not that good yet.
❜ dark gaze remains on pepper, as if hoping to receive approval from her.
The last of mingling reporters and flashing lights drown out when exiting the conference room, she doesn’t entirely allow herself to relax until the confirmation of being alone ensues when that notorious click sounds from a door that has just been shut. Pepper pauses in full stride, sighing and shaking her head at what had occurred not moments before. “That was quite a stunt you pulled back there, Tony, and to think I almost believed you wouldn’t.” She gazes pointedly, but means no harm by it, in any case, her little scolding charade shatters the minute a hint of a smile ghosts her lips. “How long had you known Happy was carrying that ring?”
it had been quite enjoyable for tony in all honesty, for teasing the strawberry blonde has always been a bit of a favorite past time for him. however, he might have taken it a bit too far this time, but all had been received well nonetheless; even from pepper herself. aside from THE LOOK and eye roll she’d flashed his way before addressing the attendees of the conference following the mock proposal. they’re alone now, though, and it’s much easier to talk openly here.
❛ it’s because you doubted me that i had to do it, potts.
❜ but he doesn’t stray too far from the woman, making a point of sticking close to her, especially as that smile creeps its way onto her pout. tony can’t help but to shrug at her question, though, for he’s not sure he wants her to know that answer yet.
❛ not too long. maybe carrying that ring around is his way of telling us he approves.
❜ he’s going to propose to her, tony knows that much, but he needs to figure out the right time and place for it. closing what little space is between them, he’s settling his hands at her hips and tugging her close so that their faces are inches apart, his dark hues focused on her lighter ones.
❛ you look very beautiful today… have i told you that yet?
❜ they have a second chance together ( or is it third? ), and the man doesn’t intend to ruin it this time.
